i love the way wn was framed and shot and i really hope that follows over to the films. for example, in 2x08 when ava is fighting adriel the angle the camera takes on her, looking up at her from the bottom left side, as she turns around and starts walking towards him. that is such a fantastic shot. she may be small but it makes her look intimidating as fuck. enhancing the energy she's giving off as she moves towards him with the sword in large strides. there's so many little moments like this i could gush about that were framed so beautifully
jfklsajfk;alsfjk my friend i think you and i saw the exact same gifset with the exact same shot at the bottom of the set and stared at it for a good three minutes going 'holy shit that's hot'
hang on i'll make it real quick...
Tumblr media
this shit is mesmerizing - alba's physicality when she acts is amazing and underrated...oof

Thinking about the prompt "no, you’ll get an infection." since I just saw a gifset of our beloved firemen ripping open packages with their teeth. 😄
thank you! have a bit of established-relationship dorks on a very serious rescue mission.
-
"Buck," Eddie says, in the deeply patient tone that means he's refraining from adding, what the fuck is wrong with you. Buck's found that most people have a version of that tone, at least around him. Eddie doesn't employ his all that often; most of the time, Eddie is on board with pretty much anything Buck suggests. Digging around in storm drains for a missing stuffed animal is the limit, apparently.
"I've almost got it," Buck says, twisting slightly to wedge his shoulder against the grate. His fingers just brush the soggy synthetic fur of the small purple stuffed rabbit a few feet down.
"Isn't this how that kid lost his arm in that movie?"
He twists back to stare up at Eddie, who is backlit by the midday sun with the carnival spread out behind him. His hands are on his hips and his expression is half-amused, half-exasperated. "What?"
"Pennywise? Evil clown monster that lives in the sewers and eats children? It's based on a Stephen King novel."
"I repeat," Buck says. "What?"
"Right, I forgot that you don't watch anything other than nature documentaries and whatever Christopher adds to your Netflix queue."
"Bold words for a guy who's memorized every single telenovela from the past twenty years."
Eddie scoffs. "Come on. Who knows what's down there, you're not even wearing gloves, you're going to slice your hand open on some grimy piece of metal and get an infection."
"I'm being careful." Buck turns his head to squint down into the storm drain. It's too dark to see much of anything other than the faintly oily glimmer of water. There are cigarette butts and greasy fast food wrappers floating in it, and it doesn't smell great, but he's definitely dealt with grosser over the course of his career. Besides. He's so close. If he just stretches—
His fingers brush the rabbit's ear again. It topples over into the grimy water with a splash, and Buck swears under his breath. The toy is now half-submerged and several inches out of reach no matter how much he stretches.
"Buck," Eddie says again, softer. "Come on. It's just a stuffed animal."
"That Christopher won."
A sigh. "He's thirteen. I don't think this is going to break his heart, sweetheart."
Buck knows that this is probably objectively true. Chris was gleefully triumphant about winning at balloon darts even after Eddie grumbled about rigged games, but the stuffed rabbit itself seemed like an afterthought. He shoved it into Buck's hands with a quick grin before going off with his friends twenty minutes ago, and Buck is—stupid, probably, for the fact that this is sort of breaking his heart.
He hasn't thought about that giant stuffed bear that they won at the pier, the one that must have washed out to sea along with half of the Los Angeles coastline, in years. He doesn't even know if Christopher remembers it. He was little. And it wasn't exactly the most memorable part of the day. The little stuffed rabbit, which fits in the palm of Buck's hand—and incidentally, between the holes of a storm drain grate—makes a much more convenient souvenir. And it felt kind of—nice, having a sort of redo on that, even if Chris doesn't remember.
But Eddie's right. Short of trying to pry up the grate cover—which he could absolutely do, if he had a halligan handy—there's no way he's going to reach it. He sighs, resting his forehead on the metal frame, then wriggles his arm out of the grate and sits back on his heels, defeated. "Okay, fine. You win."
There's no response. When he turns around, Eddie is nowhere to be seen. Feeling more than a little put-out, Buck straightens up and looks around. It's not that crowded here, but there are enough passers-by that Buck's been getting a few strange looks, which he's been ignoring. The two streets to his left are closed-off for the carnival; to his right is a black-and-white parked across the median with a bored-looking beat cop directing traffic, and a couple of sanitation workers in hi-vis vests. Eddie is talking to one of them, but he glances back like he can tell Buck is watching him.
Buck spreads his hands in question, and Eddie holds up a finger, turning back toward the guy he was just talking to. Buck slumps, then sits down on the curb, staring forlornly at the storm drain.
A moment later, footsteps approach.
"Come on, stop pouting, scoot over," Eddie says as his shadow falls across Buck.
"I'm not pouting," Buck grumbles, but he scoots over.
"Sure you're not," Eddie says agreeably, sitting down next to him. "Here. You think this'll work?"
Buck blinks at him, then looks down at the trash picker Eddie is holding out to him, which has LA - DPW scrawled down one side in Sharpie. "Did you…"
"I mean, I had to give them a whole sob story, so you might as well try it," Eddie says, wrapping his hand around Buck's knee and jostling him gently. Buck takes the picker, then laughs, dropping his forehead to Eddie's shoulder.
"Sob story, huh?"
"Just saying. Probably more sanitary than trying to stick your bare hand down a storm drain."
"I love you," Buck tells him, and he feels Eddie's shoulder shake slightly with laughter before he straightens up.
"Love you too," he says. "Now come on, let's get started on this rescue operation. Though I think our patient is gonna need a thorough hose-down before we can transport him."
Buck snickers into Eddie's shirt. His eyes aren't wet, because that would be dumb. He rubs his cheek against the warm cotton anyway before lifting his head. "You're such a dork."
Eddie grins at him, ruffled and lovely in the afternoon sunlight. "Just trying to follow proper triage protocol here."
"Dork," Buck repeats, but he leans in to steal a brief kiss before they get the rescue operation underway.

do you have a coloring tutorial? your gifs are so nice and vibrant, how do you do it? :)
hi, here's a simple basic coloring tutorial that I use pretty much for all of my gifsets:
Tumblr media
I won't get into the basics of making a gif as this is just a coloring tutorial, but here is my gif after I just crop and resize it:
Tumblr media
and here it is after I sharpen it:
Tumblr media
sharpen can affect the depth of shadows in a gif, so I do this before I add any coloring, but I know some people color first and only then sharpen, so both ways work!
alright, ready for some fun coloring? let's go!
before adding any adjustment layers, I suggest creating a new group, so all of your coloring changes can neatly sit in one place.
I always start with levels and curves, they often help to make the overall gif more natural if the lighting is too yellow, too dark, etc., it's a very useful guide, especially if you're new to gifmaking. so, let's start by clicking on the levels icon, a new adjustment layer should appear over your gif layers:
Tumblr media
the next step is to click on each of these little icons (I usually only use the top and bottom ones) and to select the lightest and the darkest parts of your gif. pick the top one, select the darkest part and then pick bottom one and pick the lightest part, you should see some changes on your gif, sometimes they're subtle, sometimes they're very obvious:
Tumblr media
in my gif the lightest part is somewhere near her shoulder where the light hits, the darkest part is her sunglasses (if there are a lot of dark/light parts, I just click around and see whichever looks more subtle. for example, I tried the part on top of her head where the light hit, but it made the gifset too blue because the lighting is yellowish, but since the whole scene is not very yellow, it looked weird so I'm sticking with her shoulder, it just simply looks better overall):
Tumblr media
and then I do the same thing with the curve adjustment layer, selecting the darkest and lightest part of my gif just like I did with the levels layer:
Tumblr media
while this is a good guide for beginners, it doesn't always fix all the problems. it can be quite harsh, so I recommend setting the opacity to a lower percentage and if it looks a little weird, sliding the arrows to one side and another with each color until it looks better to you:
Tumblr media
like I said, it's a good guide but manual work is often needed, don't be afraid to mess around with the settings. for this gif I set levels layer opacity to 60% and curves to 37%.
moving on, I'm adding a selective color adjustment layer to fix how the skintone looks with red and yellow colors. it differs with each scene, sometimes the skin is too yellow and orange, so I add more cyan and less yellow but in this case I chose these settings and I set the opacity of this layer to 35%:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I want to mention that with poc it's very important not to mess around too much with their skin tone and not to white-wash and orange-wash them, there are quite a lot of tutorials on how to avoid doing that.
the next layer I add is exposure, I want to brighten my gif a little bit. you can do that by selecting either brightness or exposure layer like I did:
Tumblr media
the scene I'm working with is pretty bright, so I'm not adding too much of exposure, here are my settings:
Tumblr media
next up, I want to deepen the shadows a little bit, so I use a gradient map for that:
Tumblr media
I use black and white gradient and set the opacity to 10%:
Tumblr media
moving on, color balance is another great trick to make the gif look more smooth with one consistent color overall:
Tumblr media
if I'm working with scenes that have a lot of green/yellow in them and I want to get rid of that, this is a quick way to slide the arrow to the opposite color and soften it a little bit by adding another color. I usually like to add more magenta to midtones and make the gif have a little bit of a pink look. here are my settings for this specific gif and the opacity of this layer is set to 30%:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and here's what difference it made to the gif:
Tumblr media
as you can see, the colors outside the circle are less green on her skin and hair. it's all coming together nicely!
let's move on to the background colors. I add another selective color layer and I'm gonna play with the colors I want to enhance the most. in this case it's green grass and her blue clothes. here are my settings for these colors:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and finally, to enhance the vibrant coloring even more, I like to add one final hue/saturation layer:
Tumblr media
here I like to add more saturation to the colors we're focusing on in the background and add around +20 of saturation. I did this to green, cyan and blue colors:
Tumblr media
and that's it! here is the finished gif compared to the completely raw one:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this coloring tutorial is very basic, but it works for most scenes I work with, I just sometimes focus on other colors, add more or less layers but the overall process is very similar.
I encourage to mess around with all the settings and see which ones look the most pleasing to your eye. let me know if you have any questions :)

yes, two ficlets in one day, oops. this one isn't a real fic meme tho, it's just me going this gifset but dihua at dihua server until i talked myself into writing it lol. slightly spicy.
*
li lianhua lets di feisheng pull him closer by the hips, close enough to ease his way between di feisheng's knees, until li lianhua is pressed flush against his chest. it's novel being so much taller than di feisheng, who is sitting on li lianhua's bed like he owns it. he has to look up at li lianhua like this, head tilted back far enough to expose the line of his throat. li lianhua slides a hand into di feisheng's hair, gathers a handful of the silky strands and pulls.
di feisheng raises an eyebrow but doesn't resist, lets li lianhua tug his head back as far as it will go, eyes smoldering from beneath his long lashes. li lianhua strokes down the sharp angle of his jaw with his free hand, traces a finger along the contour of his neck, the prominent bump of his adam's apple. he lingers in the hollow of the throat, presses just hard enough for his nail to leave a mark. he can feel the faint rumble of the low sound di feisheng makes, and li lianhua smiles.
his hand drops to di feisheng's shoulder as di feisheng starts to stand, just resting there without trying to keep him down. li lianhua's grip on di feisheng's hair stays steady as he rises up, pulling hard enough to keep di feisheng from kissing him, even as he bends li lianhua backwards. di feisheng's growl is louder this time, and li lianhua's smile widens.
"what are you playing at," di feisheng says, resisting the pull on his hair hard enough for li lianhua to feel it, but not so hard as to overcome it. he's still trying to lean in, and lianhua slips his other hand down to di feisheng's chest to help keep him back. his eyes are almost black in the mellow light filtering in from the lotus tower's windows.
li lianhua hums instead of replying, enjoying himself. he's fully aware that di feisheng is playing along, allowing his recalcitrance rather than overpowering him, and the knowledge sparks something deep and hot low in his belly. he loosens the hand in in di feisheng's hair a fraction, lets him lean in close enough for li lianhua to kiss him lightly on the nose.
di feisheng bares his teeth at that, and li lianhua laughs, delighted. he finally lets go, meeting di feisheng's lips with his own, trading quick open-mouthed kisses, arms sliding up to wrap around di feisheng's neck. di feisheng's grip on his waist is nearly bruising now, but li lianhua likes that too, likes the power of his hands. di feisheng isn't careful with him, but he never goes too far. the level of control he has is a little intoxicating.
li lianhua slows the kisses down with his teeth, biting at di feisheng's lips and then soothing them with his tongue until di feisheng chases it back into his mouth. he's starting to get a crick in his neck from being bent backwards, but the pressure lets up without him saying anything, di feisheng sitting back down on the bed and pulling li lianhua into his lap. li lianhua goes easily, kissing until they're both breathing fast.
his eyes are twinkling once he finally pulls away, lips wet and kiss-swollen. "why, lao di," he says, sifting a hand through di feisheng's hair, stroking rather than pulling this time, "i rather think you liked that." di feisheng rolls his eyes.
"you talk too much," he says, and li lianhua laughs until di feisheng stops him with his mouth.
